CMS People - How do you enter a spouse's hyphenated name so that it will print out as hyphenated in the directory?

When you have a family where there are different last names, or hyphenated last names, determine if there are children and if the majority of the kids have the same last name as mom or dad. Then use that as the Family Surname.

Then enter the correct last names for each of the family members, as shown below.

Then when you print the directory, the family will be sorted based on the family surname.

Then you can choose to include a Different Last Name Cross Reference...

so the person whose last name is different than the family surname will have a reference directing the reader to the family's information, as shown below.
